Long day.
Short post.
And honestly I was totally not in the mood for our Random Act of Kindness today.
Tomorrow we will begin going through Mom’s house…and really, who really wants to do that anyways.
It’s just sad.
But we pressed on.
Today we bought a grocery gift card and then turned around and gave it to the person behind us.
And here is our unsuspecting victim. Isn’t she just the cutest.
I was so glad we still did this today…even though I just wasn’t feelin’ it. This sweet lady gave me the biggest hug and then proceeded to tell me how this kind of thing has never happened to her before. She made my day a bit brighter.
And tomorrow we will be…
leaving notes with gift cards on car window shields. Apparently this was the week of gift cards…I may spread these out a bit next year 🙂
Also I failed to complete our giveaway canvas for today. It was just a not a cool day. So I’ve pushed it back to Monday…sorry to disappoint.
And I’ll leave you with a picture of my tattoo I got about a week ago on my inside wrist.
I’ve always wanted one…always. And then Mom died and then I really wanted one.
That was her…my anchor…our family’s anchor.
And God is our anchor.
Sure and strong.
“They give us strength to hold on to the hope we have been given.19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, sure and strong.”
Hebrews 6:18-19

I have absolutely loved your posts for Advent. We will be doing this next year. You are an inspiration!
Love the sweet things you are doing for others even when you are feeling down, Laura.
Love your tattoo, too. Sending you BIG hugs. I will be praying and thinking of you all tomorrow.
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41:10
Dear Laura, I am a follower of your blog and you FB page. I have wanted to leave a message, but then I didn’t want to! Because, you are dealing with the very thing I fear most in life. The loss of my Sweet Mama. I have cried many, many tears for you, Sweet Friend. My heart literally hurts. I know this has to be the most pain you’ve had to live with and yet you continue to “let your light Shine”! I just love you. I wish I could give you a hug. There is probably nothing I can say or do to make you feel better, but I would, if I could! Please, know that a Sister in Christ, someone you won’t meet in this life, is saying lots of prayers for you. Lots! You are a light for your babies and you are doing incredible things in your life. Just remember to let yourself mourn during this time.
I love you ~ Jo
sweet girl, to say i have not sobbed a few times for you would be a lie. you have brought so much laughter and hope to our world. know that you are brought before the throne of grace. you are lifted up to our Father. sometimes when we are in such horrific pain we can only hope to get to the next part of the day or the next hour. and thats ok. take your time. all the time you need and just feel what you need to feel. and let Jesus cover you with a blanket of peace….loving you from chicago…..
Love your tat. I’m wanting another one and have been saying I want an anchor. It’s a symbol of strength, sturdiness, salvation, and stability. Yours looks great!
All I can say is I just love you! I know times are hard and my heart breaks for you as I pray for you and your family, but know you are making such a huge difference in so many peoples lives. I love you my dear sister!
Love your tattoo, love your random acts of kindness and your giving heart. Praying for y’all as you go through your mom’s house… and through out the season of Jesus’ birth.
love the tat and all it’s significance!
LAURA, I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR SWEET MOTHER. I HAD NOT HEARD A WORD ABOUT IT UNTIL I CHECKED OUT YOUR BLOG TONIGHT. YOUR MOM ALWAYS HAD A SMILE ON HER FACE WHEN EVER I RAN INTO HER.
